You can also get pelvic inflammatory disease from something like that, and it certainly sounds like you have an infection. You need to go to the doctor ASAP. This is something that could impact your fertility and increase your chances of ectopic pregnancy.
I forgot to say this before - stop douching unless your doctor prescribes a ******!! Douching only forces bacteria that is supposed to be on your skin into the upper reproductive tract and can cause infection or make an existing one worse. I know it is hard, but don't use scented products, sprays or non-medicated scent wipes either - they can all increase the irritation and make your situation worse.
